My coping mechanism for this ongoing nightmare is to dream about next year. I can see the makings of a powerful offense, and the linebackers and secondary should be okay. But I can't muster even a hint of optimism about the defensive line. Gotsis is the only effective player, and he'll be...

I googled Tech Injury Report and found something by Ken. Says Snoddy is now out. As is Joe. Crap!

Yes! Very good new indeed! I hope he is really ready to go. Brod, Marshall, and Mikel should put some teeth back in our offense.

I hope we get good news on Brod Thursday.

Almost everything which I thought was noteworthy has been brought out in this thread. The one other thing is something which PJ has said before. For me, this other thought is very important to help me get my head around why this year has gone like it has offensively. When asked who on the...

He was talking about recruiting at Tech and explaining that if a kid wants to play in front of 80,000, we aren't going to get him. Tech appeals to people who want to get an education as well as play football. There were some more comments about who Tech can reasonably recruit. Then he said...

MWBTWL, I also have your mental illness. Reading some of your posts I find a kindred spirit. We as Tech fans, though, have I think taken this amazingly awful turnaround better than a lot of fan bases would. These posts by Boomer, Longestday and others do help greatly. If you havent' read...

It certainly seems effective against us. Maybe something about the TO makes it more effective against us. I dunno. I'm sure Ted has thought it over. Maybe some of the Xs and Os guys will discuss.

I find the bit about Clemson guessing right on our plays seriously troubling. I wonder if there are tells that are giving us away or if they just know our tendencies that well. It bothers me too that we seem to have no answer if they shift at the last second. I have always thought that PJ had...

My only views so far are from TV. You can't get the perspective of the whole field that way. What I see: 1) B back dive is the closest thing to successful we have in the run game. It often goes for 3 or 4. But last year it often went for 6 or 7. Other teams had to adjust when we got the...

One thing I have been thinking this season is maybe it's not big deal we lose three senior offensive linemen. I don't know what happened between seasons, but they just aren't performing. I don't think we looked this bad the first year.

I love to see a long, time consuming drive as much as anyone, so long as it ends in GT having seven more points. The problem as I see it is that too much can go wrong against a good defense. I really don't care if it takes two minutes or eight minutes, so long as at the end we have seven more...

My apologies; Boomer is right. I went back and reread the article. The 25 yards was for the last two games, not three.

Jake, a number of people have brought this up -- including me -- but the answer is that since he was ejected in the first half, his penalty is over. He'll start at Clem.

You can point to any number of things as causing our three loses. Giving up big plays at key times, special team blunders, failing to make 4 and 1s, and others. But Ken said this morning that our longest running play in those three games is 25 yards. That ain't us. We are going to have a...

If the rumor that Gotsis was the spy is true, we should have him for the game this week. We have in recent years made many good quarterbacks look great by failing to get pressure. Winston of FSU and Williams both had a history of throwing picks, but any college quarterback with college quality...

IIRC, we did not move the ball easily on them last year. Seems like I remember a small but very quick DT that gave us fits. He played really low and we just could not block the guy. If that was Clemson, I trust that guy has moved on?

A few more notes: Q: We aren't getting much pressure on the quarterback, coach. A: Yep, that's a big problem. We need to bring more. I'm sure Coach Roof and his staff are working on it. Also need to mix it up. Getting Adam and Pat back will help. But you know we aren't stopping the run...

Coach spoke at length about this on the call in show. I think as was said above it was to make it easier for Justin. And as also noted, if he gets to the line and snaps it quickly, the defense can't keep jumping into different alignments. The downside is that he often adds some extra...

I'm not sure if the team that took the field last week could win. But Taquan will play, Gamble will play, and Marshall (B back Marshall) will get more carries, according to reports this morning. Snoddy has not been counted out. I don't see us getting points if we have to grind down the field...
